The march begian near the West Bank of the University of Minnesota, and looped through Southeast Minneapolis. The same day, another 2500 people protested against war 150 miles to the north in the small port city of Duluth. The regional rally was the largest in seen there in decades if ever, and included attendees from North Dakota and Ontario, Canada. Crunch Time at the United Nations28.01.2003 08:23
On Monday, January 27, the eyes of the world turned to the United Nations, where weapons inspectors reported back on their still fruitless search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Ironically, the weapons inspectors' report arrives at the same time the US is actively reviewing scenarios in which it would use nuclear weapons in Iraq.

Many events on Sunday, January 26 at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre dealt with media. In a well attended four-hour workshop on "Becoming the Media," members of AMARC (the World Association of Community Radios) dialogued with US-based IndyMedia reporters, Canadian and Swiss labor activists, Argentine documentary filmmakers, Brazilian students of journalism, community radio activists from indigenous communities in the Bolivia Andes, and others about how news production and distribution could be done to counter the pervasive whitewashing of issues in the commercial media.

Hundreds Protest War in Wenceslas Square27.01.2003 21:44
Several hundred people met on Sunday, January 26 in Wenceslas Square in Prague to demonstrate against the expected US attack on Iraq. A small group of Sadam Hussein supporters were also present, carrying portraits of Hussein and Iraqi flags. However, the main demonstration seperated from them, and they left quite soon after. The maindemonstration then marched down Wenceslas Square, Narodni Trida, the banks of the Vltava, and across the Charles Bridge to the American Embassy, where an open letter against the war was delivered. This protest was in preparation for the global protests against war on February 15. Read: entire article Over Five Thousand March in a Second Day of Protests27.01.2003 21:27
Over 5,000 people participated in the Regional Anti-War Convergence in Pittsburgh on January 25-26. Despite the great numbers and shows of direct action, no one was arrested. Sunday's events included a permitted march around the Oakland section of the city, a die-in in front of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), where "smart bombs" are engineered for the US military, and a snake march of about 100 persons through Oakland and nearby Shadyside. The march continued peacefully to more cheers than jeers for about an hour and a half, ultimately returning to the die-in.

After last year's foray in New York City, the world's wealthiest most powerful persons met for the World Economic Forum (WEF) once again in behind police barricades in Davos, Switzerland. While advocates of global justice are trying to put different issues on the agenda at the World Social Forum, numerous people also came to Switzerland to make their opposition heard through demonstrations and creative actions. A demonstration was actually allowed in Davos itself this year, but later restrictions and police violence pushed things out of hand.

Twenty Thousand Demonstrate Against EU Labor Policies27.01.2003 02:39
On January 24-25, an informal summit of the Labor Ministers of the EU was held in Nafplio, Greece. It was the first major event of the Greek term in the rotating presidency of the organization. Dissent was also present - on Friday, January 24, a demonstration [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 ] was organized by labor unions and global justice coalitions to voice their anger on Europe-wide policies that lead to unemployment and deteriorating workers' rights. Despite the heavy rain, an unexpectedly large number of people from all over the country converged on the city. The number of demonstrators was larger than expected by organizers as the strees of Nafplio were filled with a colorful and noisy parade of resistance. The same day, some 3000 persons marched in Thessaloniki as well. This was the first of a series of demonstrations and actions that will conclude in a massive counter-summit in Thessaloniki during the EU summit for heads of states in June.

A general strike called in Haiti on Friday, January 24 by 184 "civil society" organizations quickly began to resemble a similar event called by the Democratic Convergence group last December 4, 2002. Businesses that largely cater to Haiti's small upper and middle classes remained shuttered today while the majority of small marketplace women, known as ti machann, were clearly open and doing a brisk business. This pattern is similar to the "strike" that has been held by the upper classes in Venezuela over the same period of time. Parade for Peace Draws Thousands26.01.2003 16:40
Thousands marched through the streets on the South Side of PIttsburgh on Saturday, January 25 in a permitted Parade for Peace. More are expected to hit the streets in the Oakland section of the city tomorrow for a rally and march, followed by autonomous direct actions.

Friday, January 24 was the first full day of the third World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil. While the beginning workshops were marred by some confusion over locations and start-times, in general things flowed well. This is especially noteworthy since the forum has doubled in size each successive year, and prior to 2001, the city of Porto Alegre was not a regular haven for foreign visitors.

As the January 27 deadline for UN weapons inpections in Iraq approaches, and the US and other nations, including the UK and Australia, continue to send military forces to the Persian Gulf region, organizing efforts and actions against war are continuing. In the last week, meetings and protests have been held throughout the world, from Japan to Turkey to Australia, in an effort to stop US military aggression.

Hundreds Protest Utility Cut-offs on MLK Day25.01.2003 17:58
Chanting "No Water, No Peace," and "We fired up! - can't take it no more!" about 200 Detroit citizens and other concerned human beings picketed in front of the Detroit Water Department on Monday, January 20. Those in attendance were protesting utility cut-offs by DTE Energy and the Water Department. Over 8,000 Detroiters currently have their water, gas, and/or electricity cut off, while 40,000 have in the past year. Attempts to privatize water supplies in the US are nothing new. Moreover, those protesting in Detroit were acting in solidarity with those facing similar utility cut-offs in South Africa, British Columbia, and elsewhere.

It was certainly a tale of two cities on Thursday, January 23. As members of the Bush administration and other corporate globalizers tried to celebrate the "best of times" in the snowy heights of Davos, Switzerland, representatives of 5,480 organizations from over 126 countries gathered in Porto Alegre, Brazil at the World Social Forum to formulate alternatives to some of the "worst of times" being suffered around the globe today. About 100,000 people are expected to come to Porto Alegre, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil this weekend. The process is already moving forward, as it has been decided that next year's forum will be held in India.

Eye on the Contractor's Ball25.01.2003 02:37
Government contracts are as inevitable as taxes in the US. They are routinely awarded to companies, large and small. Unless we are investing, or work at a company directly affected, we rarely take note. It happens every few days. But perhaps we should devote more attention to government contracts, particularly defense contracts, given the post-9-11 increase in the defense budget. Meanwhile, eight people attempting to enter the Northrop Grumman Canada (Litton) plant and inspect the site for its weapons of mass destruction work were arrested by Toronto Police on January 20, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the US.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Was a Drum Major for Justice24.01.2003 16:17
People of many different backgrounds marched across the US on Monday, January 20 to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and vision of a peaceful and equitable world. Crowds were full of anti-war supporters who wished to carry on Dr. King's message of peace and understanding. There couldn't have been a more fitting tribute to King's activism than the sight of the hundreds of thousands of people who rallied across the nation against Bush's planned invasion of Iraq over the past weekend. Yet King is overwhelmingly viewed in the mass media as a campaigner against Southern segregation. But King saved the best for the last years of his life after the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by becoming more, not less, radical in his middle age, as he began campaigning for a class based vision of economic equality and justice and against US militarism.

The Permanent Joint Headquarters of the British Armed Forces, Northwood Military Base in London, was blockaded for eight hours on Sunday, 19 January by up to 400 protestors in London [ 1 | 2 | 3 ]. At 9:15 am that morning, six peace activists locked themselves together at the main gates of the base with steel tube 'lock-ons' covered with giant purple pantsbearing the slogan "War is Pants." They were eventually cut out of the locks at the end of the day. This second day of action at Northwood coincided with the twelfth anniversary of the 1991 Gulf War, and came one day after many massive anti-war protests around the world.

Four Kuna indigenous leaders were murdered in the Panamanian villages of Paya and Pucuro on Saturday, January 18. Also, two US and one Canadian reporter were kidnapped by what seems to be the same Colombian paramilitary group that attacked those towns. The group of 150 paramilitaries whom Kuna leaders identified as belonging to the Autonomous Defense Units of Colombia, assassinated the leaders of the Kuna Paya village: Ernesto Ayala, mayor; San Pascual Ayala, second mayor, and Luis Enrique Martínez, village commissioner. Gilberto Vasquez, mayor of Pucuro, was also murdered. His body was found with a bullet in the back of his head inside his house in the village. The Panamanian government released a statement Thursday and the search is on for those abducted.

As the history of Europe unfolds, it has become clear that Germany has risen into prominence and dominance that Adolf Hitler only dreamed of and that he thought could be achieved through war.
Without a shot being fired, the economies of Europe are now being led by a strong and thriving Germany. The nation who controls the wealth controls those who seek financial help. All Europe seems to have fallen into that cycle.
God made a promise to the children of Abraham that they would be the ones to whom the nations would come for financial aid (Deuteronomy:15:6For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.). Their strength lay in obedience to God's law. Germany is not a god-fearing nation. Their strength is a fulfillment of prophecy and the work of God's arch-enemy. What irony must stir in the pens of historians who note the graves of young German warriors who failed to gain control and dominance with the weapons of the blitzkrieg—but whose grandchildren have gained more than would have been imagined without any weapons at all. They achieved victory without war.
It seems that Germany controls the wealth because they created the wealth. The other countries are in servitude because they have foolishly been spending beyond their means want the Germans to pay for it with no strings attached which is an unreasonable demand. The borrower is a servant of the lender.

Had a wonderful stay at the Crabtree Candlewwod Suites. We were travelling with our 2 dogs who were welcomed as guests just as we were. We will stay here when we return to the area.
Great hotel
April 23, 2015
The hotel was very clean. The suite we stayed in was very comfortable. My only complaint is the bathroom could have had more counter space or a small cabinet. Had to keep toiletries in the bedroom.
April 15, 2015
1. Each side of the bed should have a table and light for bedtime reading.
2.The bathroom door needs hooks inside for hanging night clothes.
3. Luggage rack sorely needed
4. $25 extra per night for a cat is not "Pet Friendly"
Weekend manager Mr. Monaco was a pleasure to deal with and a great asset to Candlewood Suites.
Great hotel!

Great location, value. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient, the suite was nice too.

Posted on 26 March 2012.
Mike Hadreas, aka Perfume Genius, is a talented, young singer-songwriter who has made quite a mark with his sophomore effort, Put Your Back N 2 It. However, the release was not without controversy.
Perfume Genius' 16-second ad for the new album was deemed inappropriate by YouTube because it featured the singer being held by a gay porn star. The ensuing hullabaloo confused Hadreas as much as anyone, since he comes across as rather shy and introverted and is just happy anyone likes his music. He spoke with us about that and more in preview of tonight's show at Dan's Silverleaf.

Going forward, there will be a heavy police presence at Dodger Stadium
Apr 8, 2011, 12:05 PM EDT
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, police Chief Charlie Beck and Frank McCourt are going to hold a news conference today to announce new security measures at Dodger Stadium in the wake of the beating of Bryan Stow last week. We don't know everything, but Chief Beck made it clear that at least parts of it won't be subtle:
"[T]here's going to see a sea of blue, but it's not going to be Dodgers blue. It's going to be LAPD blue."
That sounds friendly enough.
Seriously, though, whatever (a) increases security; but (b) doesn't interfere with people actually enjoying a baseball game is cool by me.
- heyblueyoustink - Apr 8, 2011 at 12:58 PM
It's a shame, really, if this has been an issue for years and this is what it took to be addressed……But with that being said, this is far better than what they had going obviously, simply the presence of law enforcement tends to make bad apples think twice…
I know it works at Citizen's Bank, some people are just going to be meatheads, and police presence is way better than private security for all kinds of reasons
- kellyb9 - Apr 8, 2011 at 1:43 PM
Have you ever actually been to a Phillies game? There really isn't a police presence at all. I can remember a few times where people were escorted out, but most of the stadium is filled with your standard in-house security/old folks that show you to your seats and check your ticket stubs.
- heyblueyoustink - Apr 8, 2011 at 2:57 PM
My question to you. Did you ever go to a game at the Vet? There's a marked difference……inside information benefits me in knowing 2 things: There is much more of as police presence today then there ever was in those days, and they're not always in uniform, because who wants to be distracted from the game by worrying about "why are there so many cops here?"
- Utley's Hair - Apr 8, 2011 at 3:03 PM
They're not really outwardly present there, but there are police officers at the Bank—at least last season, probably in response to the once-in-God-only-knows-how-long incidents which are now (according to just about anybody who mentions it) apparently a daily occurence and are almost rites of passage in the life of a Phightins Phan.
My kid was joking around with a couple of them after a game last year.

I can be a Dodger again. The initial response from McCourt wasn't much. Seattle games have a great police presence outside the park, so I've never been uncomfortable watching or leaving a game. Hope they cage the animals responsible for the senseless beating of simply, a baseball fan.
- baseballstars - Apr 9, 2011 at 3:09 AM
I generally hate biometric face scanners, but this (and in Oakland during football season) might be a place where they'd actually be useful. Instead of trying to gentrify baseball by greatly increasing the ticket prices to keep the undesirables out (and hurt the poor and good people on the lower end of the socio-economic status), little things like increased security measures would be a much better option. I personally think ticket prices (for the most part) are too high, so I can't be in favor of increasing prices just to keep the gang members and thugs away. It will inevitably hurt others as well.
- pipkin42 - Apr 10, 2011 at 3:44 AM
So great that the Dodgers are so incompetently run that mow the LAPD has to waste valuable personnel guarding the stadium. Speaking of public subsidies of ball teams…

Lindsey Vonn, two or so weeks after ripping her right knee up in a gruesome fall at alpine skiing's world championships, said Friday she has no doubt she will be back for the Sochi 2014 Olympics.
It's a race against time, one that positions Vonn, the 2010 Vancouver Games downhill champion, winner of 59 World Cup races and four World Cup overall titles, not just as an underdog but as the comeback story of the 2014 Games.
She made it plain Friday in a conference call with a group of selected reporters that it's a race she intends — as usual — to win.
"It all depends on me," she said. "I have to work hard and take my time and do it right. I can guarantee I will do that."
Vonn, 28, tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments and broke a lower leg bone during the super-G, the first race run at the 2013 worlds in Schladming, Austria.
She was critical Friday of race organizers. Fog, snow and clouds had made course conditions extraordinarily variable the day of Feb. 5, leaving athletes, coaches and staff unsettled for hours, wondering, obviously, was the race going to be run, or not?
Finally, the race was a go — but, as Vonn noted, she had no idea what the snow itself was going to be like. Instead of being packed icy-hard the way it should be, it was "too soft," she said, "broken down," and when she flew too far off a jump, she hit a patch of loose snow, her right knee buckled and — that was that.
As she was lying there in the snow, in pain, she recounted Friday, she told Alex Hoedlmoser, the U.S. women's alpine head coach, "They should stop the race right there."
They did not. Ultimately, however, the race was delayed 14 times due to the weather and called after 36 skiers. Tina Maze of Slovenia won, with Lara Gut of Switzerland second and American Julia Mancuso third.
Vonn flew back to the United States and, on Feb. 10, underwent surgery, performed at the Vail Valley Surgery Center by Dr. William Sterett.
It went, she said as expected — the major issue the ACL. The MCL and bone break are, by comparison, relatively minor concerns.
If all goes well, Vonn added, she expects to be back on skis by November.
November? With the Olympics in February?
Perhaps, she said, a little sooner. Then again, maybe a little later.
Not to worry, Vonn said:
"I'm not extremely concerned when I'm going to be back. I just want to make sure that when I do get back my knee is 100 percent. It doesn't take a lot of training for me to be ready to race again."
She noted that knee injuries are something of a fact of life in alpine skiing and that she has taken comfort in seeing others — in particular her very good friend, Germany's Maria Höfl-Riesch, winner of two golds in Vancouver, the 2011 World Cup season overall champion — come back from knee injuries.
Höfl-Riesch told the Associated Press Friday in Meribel, France, that she is making plans to come visit Vonn after the World Cup season ends and expects Lindsey to come back strong:
"She's totally motivated, and I also know from my own [experience] that it's not so easy after injury to get full gas again. But I'm sure Lindsey's so strong she can get this feeling and the risk back pretty soon. Maybe at the beginning the first time on skis it will be difficult for her, too. But not for a long time."
Picabo Street, one of Vonn's childhood idols, busted up her knee in December 1996, then came back to win the super-G at the Nagano Games in February 1998. So, absolutely, it can be done.
"Picabo is definitely a great example of that," Lindsey Vonn said Friday. "As I said, I have no doubt I will be back and be able to ski the same if not better than I did before."

Run, London, Run!
It has taken London seven years and £ 93 billion to get ready for the mega show - the 2012 Olympics. When London won the bid in Singapore, Sebastian Coe, the head of the organising committee, announced in the glow of victory : "This is just the most fantastic opportunity to do everything we have ever dreamed of in British sport. " One doesn't know that the host country has done just that. What we do know is that given the nature of the beast, there have been massive budget over-runs. There is no talk of graft issues and no talk of legacy now. But the jury can wait. On the eve of the take-off of the Games, there is general talk of indifference and after the security hiccups, the fear that something could go wrong. At the same time, there is quiet optimism that Britain has managed to string it together despite many roadblocks, primarily economic. Given the economic slowdown, the business community has been eagerly looking forward to more footfalls in shops across the city.
That has not really happened. "Where are the tourists?" my landlady, who works in a Turkish restaurant, asked on Wednesday night. "We were hoping for much better business. " In fact, like in any other country, the pulse of the mood - a bit exaggerated, though - is best caught by the taxi drivers. They come in all shapes and sizes, with different appetites for conversation. While some are friendly, some simply ignore you. In London, most of them love to talk and educate. So far, Andrew has been the best of the lot. He loves to talk. "You are Hindi? He asks. "Oh, Hindu. . . If you are looking for good Indian restaurants, I can suggest. " You sound bored and he changes gears. "Actually, there is a beautiful temple of Shiva near Leyton, you know. Are you religious?" You mumble and he continues to talk, numbing your mind. As you get down, he says, "It's good to see people from so many countries come visiting. " Good for business ?
"I would be lying if I said no. But honestly, we are a world city. It's like a pot of your Indian curry - crazy mix of spices which can go wrong if you can't strike a balance. " That is true, and in many ways, it could be the reason why you often get the feeling that not everyone is involved in the Games the way you expect from a city, or a nation. You could be wrong, though. First impressions can be misleading.
Transport has been a major issue this past week in London. Stories on traffic snarls could be daunting for the most die-hard traveler. For the locals too, it has spelt pain. Beyond the freshly-made, pleasant-looking Olympic Park, which houses the main stadium, the hockey stadium and a few others, the other venues can make fans think twice about visiting two venues. Travelling to Wimbledon from the Olympic Park takes 90 minutes. You wouldn't want to come back.
London may have been pretty late to warm up (literally too, after never-ending rain) but it could change overnight with the opening ceremony on Friday night. Oscar-winner Danny Boyle has conjured a visual feast, the organizers tell you. It's charming, they say. It probably is but yes, with the action shifting to the stadium, the mercury will certainly rise.
In the arena where the action begins on Friday, the fight for the top spot is between USA and China again. Hosts Britain are looking to bounce back, while other countries are also trying to improve on their Beijing show. So where does it leave India? After Beijing and the three medals, Indians are not merely here for the Olympic movement. They are here to compete. While in Sydney and Athens, organizers smiled at huge Indian media presence despite empty coffers, no one seems to be complaining here. Indians are in with an outside chance to double their Beijing tally and that would be something. As another taxi driver told me the other night: "Even one medal is good, isn't it? There are so many countries which don't win nothing. "
At this moment, an Indian fan would not be willing to buy that. There are obvious names that have been splashed all over Indian newspapers the past few weeks. The first name which comes to mind is of archer Deepika Kumari. Like her name she has spread light wherever she has gone in the past few years. And to think she is still in her teens. This shy girl from Ranchi has a very cool head on her shoulders and she can light India's fire in London.
Beyond her are the shooters, the boxers, the wrestlers, the shuttlers and the tennis pros. Ronjan Sodhi, Gagan Narang, Saina Nehwal, Leander Paes-Sania Mirza combine, Vijender Singh, Shiva Thapa, Vikas Krishan, Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt... these are the names India will be talking about in the coming month.
One would wish the same for the hockey team. It's a young bunch, slightly inexperienced as compared to the teams from the Netherlands and Germany but with the focus having shifted from hockey some years ago, they can just go and do their thing - their way. Coach Michael Nobbs has ensured that they have the spine to fight.
In the international arena, the obvious face-offs are two: Jamaican superhero Usain Bolt vs rising star Yohan Blake. Trust the main stadium to wake up the neighbouring counties when the two go flying head-to-head, neck-to-neck, breath-to-breath. The other one again is the same country affair: Michael Phelps, the golden boy of Beijing Games vs Ryan Lochte, the man who wants to be king.
For the hosts, the star of the Games is heptathlete Jessica Ennis. The 26-year-old's clash with Ukraine's Nataliya Dobrynska will surely light up the Games. These are just a few names. Several reputations will be shattered and new ones made. Among the new stars, look out for 17-year-old American swimmer Missy Franklin, Japan's 23-year-old gymnast Kohei Uchimura, British cyclist Laura Trott and decathlete Ashton Eaton.

Kight, Morris (1919-2003)
Activist Morris Kight was a determined and courageous--if sometimes eccentric--fighter for glbtq rights. He worked vigorously for decades in the struggle for equality. Morris Kight was born in Comanche County in the heart of Texas on November 19, 1919. He grew up on the family farm. Kight recognized his sexual orientation as a youngster. He stated in a 1994 interview that he began exploring his sexuality while in high school and that he was "happy to say that [he] didn't have a trace of guilt feeling about that." Kight went on to study at Texas Christian University, from which he graduated in 1941. During these years in Fort Worth he was, in his own words, "somewhat active as a gay person," although the social scene for gay men was extremely limited. He recalled "occasional gatherings" at people's homes. Discretion was essential because of the oppressive legal and social situation for gay men. After graduation Kight moved to New Mexico. There he discovered "underground gay communities" in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. At the time, he recalled, Albuquerque had several gay bars to which police generally turned a blind eye. Kight described the gay scene in 1940s and 1950s New Mexico as "furtive"--necessarily so since men convicted under the state's sodomy law faced a prison term. Kight married in 1950. The union, which lasted until 1955, produced two daughters. Once Kight became a gay rights activist he avoided mentioning his marriage to any but a few of his closest friends, apparently for fear that his credibility as a spokesman for gay rights would be diminished. Kight moved to Los Angeles in 1958. He had worked with a theater group in Albuquerque in the early 1950s but was generally more interested in being a social activist than in earning a salary. Nevertheless, he needed some source of income. For four years he had a part-time job as a novelty vendor at Dodger Stadium during baseball games. He also began holding semi-annual "garage sales" at which he sold antiques picked up on the cheap at thrift shops. In time, dealers and well-to-do buyers, including Liberace, became regular attenders of his sales. In Los Angeles Kight found a much more vibrant gay community than those he had known in Texas or New Mexico. Kight became involved, opening his house for meetings to foster gay identity and pride, and helping arrested gay men secure lawyers so that they could get out of jail. As the war in Vietnam escalated, Kight, a Ghandian pacifist, devoted an increasing amount of time to protests against it. He first became well known not for championing glbtq rights but for the founding in 1967 of the Dow Action Committee, an anti-war group protesting the chemical company's production of Agent Orange. For his efforts he was vilified as a Communist sympathizer, but he persisted. He encouraged gay men and lesbians to join him in the cause but met with a mixed response. Many were leery of the strong presence of Socialists in the organization, but others worked with Kight in demonstrations, sit-ins, leafleting campaigns, and other forms of non-violent actions. To this point Kight, though a fixture in the underground gay community in Los Angeles, had not joined more visible homophile groups such as the Mattachine Society, which he considered elitist. In the wake of Stonewall, however, he became one of the founders of the Los Angeles branch of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) in December 1969. One of the Los Angeles GLF's first activities was a protest against a West Hollywood chili parlor called Barney's Beanery, which had a sign that read "Fagots [sic] Stay Out." Led by Kight and the Reverend Troy Perry of the Metropolitan Community Church, gay men and lesbians demonstrated outside the restaurant, demanding removal of the offensive sign. When the owner, who had in fact never denied anyone service, refused to take down the sign--and indeed added more--Kight and other protesters began coming in, ordering a single item, and remaining for hours. Since the owner was losing money, he repeatedly called the Sheriff's Office to try to evict the protesters. After three months the owner relented and took down the signs, handing them over to Kight and others. The victory was short-lived. Once the protesters and the news media had departed, the owner replaced the sign. It only came down for good in 1984 when Valerie Terrigno, the first lesbian mayor of West Hollywood, removed it herself as soon as the city council passed an anti-discrimination ordinance.

Beyond Shot Retrieval: Searching for Broadcast News Items Using Language Models of Concepts
Aly, Robin and Doherty, Aiden and Hiemstra, Djoerd and Smeaton, Alan (2010) Beyond Shot Retrieval: Searching for Broadcast News Items Using Language Models of Concepts. In: 32nd European Conference on IR Research, ECIR 2010, 28-31 March 2010, Milton Keynes, UK (pp. pp. 241-252).

Abstract: | Current video search systems commonly return video shots as results. We believe that users may better relate to longer, semantic video units and propose a retrieval framework for news story items, which consist of multiple shots. The framework is divided into two parts: (1) A concept based language model which ranks news items with known occurrences of semantic concepts by the probability that an important concept is produced from the concept distribution of the news item and (2) a probabilistic model of the uncertain presence, or risk, of these concepts. In this paper we use a method to evaluate the performance of story retrieval, based on the TRECVID shot-based retrieval groundtruth. Our experiments on the TRECVID 2005 collection show a significant performance improvement against four standard methods. |

Di Fara Pizza 1424 Avenue J, 718-258-1367, Midwood, Brooklyn There is almost no pizzeria in NYC these days more polarizing than Di Fara. Known for its hours-long waits and high prices ($5 for a regular slice), it has as many detractors as rabid fans. It's a must-visit pizzeria, though—if only to say you've been. The slice to get here is the semi-dried cherry tomato pizza, a recent addition (relatively speaking, that is—the place has been around since 1964) to the pizzeria's menu. The partially dried tomatoes offer juicy hits of concentrated flavor, like summer distilled into a bite. In fact, the semi-dried cherry tomato pizza has become so popular that according to Di Fara manager Margaret Mieles, it has eclipsed the pizzeria's artichoke slice as its number one specialty slice.

This works for rooting all the stock builds released for droid so far....up to FRG83D I started a new thread about this because its a very different method than the one use in this thread and I didnt want the methods to be confused. This method is safer imo as it does not require flashing sbf files. This method was originally used to root the Droid2 First off All credit goes to Sebastian Krahmer at C skills. Please see fit to donate via Paypal to email@example.com Credit for the tutorial goes to karnovaran at xda. You can find his original thread here. I have changed the directions a little to make them slightly easier and suited for the Droid1. Whats needed ADB for instructions on setting up adb see this video by unlockr Current Motorola Drivers Rageagainstthecage 1.) Enable usb debugging if you dont already have it enabled Spoiler Go to settings on your phone then applications then development check the box for usb debugging[/Hide] 2.) Extract rageagainstthecage.zip to c:\droidroot 3.) Connect your phone to the computer via usb cable 4.) on the computer open the command prompt. (In the start menu under accessories) 5.) cd to your adb tools directory. For most the command would look like this cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools 6.) adb devices (This should list a device as a long number under list of devices. If it doesnt something is wrong.) 7.) adb push c:\droidroot\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp 8.) adb shell 9.) cd /data/local/tmp 10.) chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin 11.) ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (This can take a minutes just let it go until you are returned to your adb tools folder) 12.) adb devices 13.) adb shell (you should now see a # instead of a $) 14.) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system 15.) exit 16.) adb push c:\droidroot\Superuser.apk /system/app 17.) adb push c:\droidroot\su /system/bin 18.) adb push c:\droidroot\busybox /system/bin 19.) adb shell 20.) chmod 4755 /system/bin/su 21.) chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox 22.) mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.disabled Note if you are on a build earlier than froyo this step will fail. That is fine and expected. 23.) mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system 24.) rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin 25.) exit I would suggest rebooting your phone but its not required.
So if all I want to start is my current froyo update I just got a couple days ago, rooted, this will do the trick? I dont need a custom rom?
thanks worked like a charm! can I go installing custom roms for them now? or is this simply root access.
you can flash custom roms although there is 1 annoyance right now, if you put a custom recovery on reboot before flashing a rom the stock recovery will come back. I meant to add the fix for it into the guide but forgot. Give me like 5 minutes to make sure this works and then I will tell you how to do it. Its real simple
Great work OMJ I can't find you're original thread, but maybe you should also put the steps to disable the "flash stock recovery" scripts? Not sure if possible in the adb shell, but I think the easiest would be something like mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.disabled edit: never mind just saw your post
thank you very much, the person will probably never get into the custom recovery but they want the revolution theme i have so I am rooting it for them to make our day at work go by faster
ok for anyone who used this guide before 225pm eastern time on sept 8 2010 do the following Hook you phone back up to usb. open command prompt and cd to you adb tools folder Then type the following commands adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.disabled mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system exit that just makes it so you can flash custom recoveries anyone doing this guide after the specified time its already part of the guide.
Is there a way in SDB terminal to verify that the following took effect? When I ran the original commands, I got an error on the recovery-from-boot.p.disabled line that said file or directory not found?? Thanks
flash a custom recovery then boot into recovery. Then reboot into the os and then reboot into recovery a second time. If its still the custom recovery the second time then it worked. If its back to stock recovery the second time then something is wrong.
Procedures seem to work fine. For those of us using windows XP, the file in step 5 is located at c:\AndroidSDK\tools I had previously rooted using Easyroot and ROM Manager, but kept the stock FRG01D. When I upgraded to FRG22D thru a thread on this forum, I unfortunately did not know enough to investigate the possibility of losing root........ which I did after this upgrade. Having re-rooted using the thread above, will my rom and rooting applications be usable?
Ok, I followed the instructions to the word and I seem to fail when I get to the PUSH command. The file is not transferring to my phone. Some help here please. What am I missing?
Watch the spaces before the forward slashes in the commands........ they are hard to spot. I had the same problem initially.
I don't have an issue with spaces, I am somewhat of an advanced DOS user from the days before Windows. I know about entering commands via the cmd window. When I PUSH rageagainstthecage, it doesn't copy. When I do superuser and su I get an error message stating failed to copy: read-only file system
without rageagainstthecage you wont be able to push the other files. Are you sure rageagainstthecage isnt pushing? what happens when you try steps 10 and 11?
I am not sure what is going on, but after through the steps multiple times, it finally started to work. Originally when I got to steps 10 and 11, I got an error, when I went through it again (to relate the error message here), everything worked. Looks like I now have a rooted phone. Thanks.
Wow! Unhappily, I lost root when Verizon pushed FRG22D to my phone. Your rooting method is straightforward and easy as pie. Mega thanks! It's a relief to be rooted again. No, I'm not constantly swapping ROMs and themes and stuff, but I really appreciate the extra security of running Backup Pro with superuser permissions and having full access to Titanium Backup. Bravo! I'm curious, though: why do you think this method is safer than using SPrecovery, spf lite, and flashing sbf files? I've never followed that route, and perhaps the straightforwardness of the method you detail in this thread answers my question. But I was wondering what you meant by that?
Ok I think it works now. I was putting a space where there sahouldnt have been lol. I have an app that's called superuser now so I'm guessing its rooted. Sorry I'm a noob at this.

Cowboy!America x Reader: Yee-Haw~!
You stepped into the stables. Your horse, Lucky, whinnied at you. You patted her gently on the head.
"Hey girl," you said "You ready to go for a run?" She whinnied again. You saddled her up, and lead you outside.
You leapt onto her back, and dug your riding spurs into her sides. She bucked, and took off at a high speed. You leaned forwards, feeling the breeze.
"Yee-Haw~!" you shouted. You loved the phrase. It was stereotypical, and honestly, quite funny.
A boy, who had seemingly come out of nowhere rode up next to you. He looked over and smiled.
"Wanna race?" he shouted over the sound of horse hooves.
"Hell yeah!" you replied.
"Down to the end of the road," he said. You nodded, and dug your riding spurs into Lucky once again, her signal to go faster. She took off, running fast as she could go, leaving the boy in your dust.
You laughed joyfully. You were having the time of your life! Soon enough, you reached the end of the road.
"Whoa, Lucky, Whoa!" you shouted. Your horse bucked up again, and stopped. You turned her around just as the boy cam racing by.
This caught you quite by surprise, causing you to fall to the ground. You cried out in pain, and looked down at your hands. They had broken your fall, but were now a bloody mess. The boy then hopped down from his horse.
"You ok dude?" he asked, looking at your palms.
"I'm fine," you said, whipping them on your jeans "I'm _______, by the way."
"Alfred," the boy replied.
"Nice to meet you Alfred," you said "But I have to take Lucky here home."
"Yeah, Racing here's a fragile horse," Alfred's horse half whinnied- Half grumbled. You laughed as you re-mounted Lucky.
"So, race you again tomorrow?" you asked
"Defiantly," he replied "And next time, we'll win." Then he hopped on Racing, who he tried to get to go fast, but just trotted off at her own pace.
You laughed. You had a feeling you and Alfred would be a bit more than friends.

Kinematic wave model of bed profiles in alluvial channels
Title: | Kinematic wave model of bed profiles in alluvial channels |
Author: | Tayfur, Gokmen; Singh, Vijay P. |
Abstract: | A mathematical model, based on the kinematic wave (KW) theory, is developed for describing the evolution and movement of bed profiles in alluvial channels. The model employs a functional relation between sediment transport rate and concentration, a relation between flow velocity and depth and Velikanov's formula relating suspended sediment concentration to flow variables. Laboratory flume and field data are used to test the model. Transient bed profiles in alluvial channels are also simulated for several hypothetical cases involving different water flow and sediment concentration characteristics. The model‐simulated bed profiles are found to be in good agreement with what is observed in the laboratory, and they seem theoretically reasonable for hypothetical cases. The model results reveal that the mean particle velocity and maximum concentration (maximum bed form elevation) strongly affect transient bed profiles. |

Communication Consultants: Explain how new communication systems will help improve efficiency in virtual teams
Communication Consultants Presentation
Read the following: Imagine that you are a team of communication consultants assigned with the task of helping a company executive make his team-oriented projects more efficient and effective. The current teams are working but have inefficiencies, and they are not as effective as they could be. The teams are usually given 1- to 2-week deadlines on projects, and each member must contribute equally. Each team member often has other projects he or she needs to complete individually, as well. This is an e-commerce company, and the team members are usually located in different geographical locations.
The company executive is aware that several competitors have been implementing new methods of communication within their teams and have been producing high quality output in less time. The executive is eager to do the same but wants to understand how communications technologies may help their teams' issues.
Create a 6- to 8-slide persuasive Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that explains how new communication systems provide more options for communication and e-commerce (these are Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations with notes.)
Consider a group of four as your virtual team.
Analyze the communication process within your team.
Explain how new communication systems will help improve efficiency in virtual teams.

Mounting instruments into cabin: screws, and boatlife or epoxy?

Mounting instruments into cabin: screws, and boatlife or epoxy?
So, I'm mounting a speaker into the cockpit. The hole goes right through the core, into the cabin. I'm planning on epoxying the interior of the hole, but what about the screw holes (outside the 5" hole, there are 4 mounting screws).
Is BoatLife enough? I've read at WestSystem.com about this process of drilling large holes, like 3/8", filling with epoxy, redrilling with pilot hole, but that seems over the top to me. Practically speaking, isn't boatlife going to do a pretty darn good job?
What kind of screws does one use for glass/ wood combos?
Finally, if the epoxy method is critical...do I use plain, or mixed with the silica? Do I let it harden, and then drill into it?
WestSystem suggests placing the screw in while the epoxy is wet, but that seems difficult, as it will have no holding power until dry. And can you screw it further in, or is it too late?

Amid Dutch dike break fears, Groninger Museum moves two exhibitions from ground floors
Police and military personnel evacuated 800 people from four villages in the low-lying northern Netherlands on Friday amid fears of a dike break following days of drenching rains.
Authorities said that a section of the dike along a major canal could give way and submerge hundreds of hectares (acres) of land under up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) of water.
"The chance is small" the dike will break, said Yvonne van Mastrigt, chairman of the regional policy team that ordered the evacuation. "But in the interests of security of people and livestock I must take this decision."
Dozens of villagers and troops spent hours Thursday night piling sandbags on top of plastic sheets in an attempt to strengthen and waterproof the dike. The local water authority said the emergency repairs had stabilized the situation after water had begun seeping through the dike overnight.
In the early afternoon, authorities opened sluice gates to allow water to pour out to sea, a move that will lower water levels and ease pressure on the strained dikes.
The Defense Ministry also said an F-16 fighter jet equipped with a special camera used to detect roadside bombs in Afghanistan would fly over the region Friday to monitor the state of the dikes.
The evacuations 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of Amsterdam come after a combination of torrential rain and powerful northwesterly winds have soaked the country and prevented water being pumped into the sea.
A quarter of the Netherlands is below sea level and 55 percent of the country is considered susceptible to flooding, but the country has learned to live with the ever-present threat of high water, and devastating floods are rare.
Residents forced to leave their homes were advised to stay with friends or families but a makeshift evacuation center also was opened in nearby sports halls. A local agriculture organization appealed to farmers to come forward if they had extra space to house livestock being trucked out of the threatened area.
Water levels in rivers and canals across the Netherlands has been rising for days and authorities are on high alert for possible flooding and breaches in the thousands of kilometers (miles) of dikes that protect the country from inundation.
In the northern city of Groningen, staff at the Groninger Museum moved two exhibitions late Thursday from ground floor halls because of the rising level of a moat that surrounds the building. The museum was closed Friday.

Latest edition of highly-regarded annual lottery reference book
U.S. and Canada editions published simultaneously
MARTINSVILLE, N.J. — The latest edition of Lottery Post's highly-regarded lottery results reference book officially went on sale today.
Lottery Post 2011 Lottery Results Almanac, United States Edition (ISBN 978-0-9826272-4-2), written by the founder of the popular Lottery Post web site and published by Speednet Group, is available for purchase immediately online at the publisher's web site (http://books.speednet.biz). The title also is available at major online retailers such as Amazon.com, Baker & Taylor, and Barnes & Noble, and book stores can stock the book through wholesale book distributor Ingram.
The annually-published lottery reference books consistently garner 5-star reviews at Amazon.com, as lottery players each year add the unique and valuable reference book to their bookshelves. The Lottery Results Almanac series is widely considered a definitive source of nationwide lottery results that was lacking in the lottery industry for many years, and documents the vital data in well-organized hard copy book form.
"Lottery players are bombarded with hundreds of 'get rich quick' books containing lottery systems, wheels, and advice, but there are very few books available containing factual data on which to base all those systems," said Todd Northrop, the book's author and founder of Lottery Post. "Part of the reason is because it can be so difficult for an author to pull that kind of data together and to organize it all into book form."
"Since Lottery Post already maintains one of the most comprehensive and accurate lottery results databases available," Northrop continued, "I was able to leverage that valuable asset and focus on editorial efforts — making a mountain of data highly readable and referenceable."
Lottery Post 2011 Lottery Results Almanac, United States Edition covers the winning numbers for all United States lottery games in the year 2011. Puerto Rico lottery results are also included. In addition to the winning numbers, each game is described, including drawing schedule, game number matrix, drawing method, online links, and other pertinent notes.
2011 Canada Edition also available immediately
In addition to the United States edition, a Canada edition of the book is also published each year, containing the lottery results of every Canadian lottery game for the past year.
Lottery Post 2011 Lottery Results Almanac, Canada Edition (ISBN 978-0-9826272-5-9), is available for purchase immediately online at the publisher's web site (http://books.speednet.biz). Like the United States edition, the Canada edition also is available at major online retailers such as Amazon.com, Baker & Taylor, and Barnes & Noble, and book stores can stock the book through wholesale book distributor Ingram.
While publication of the Canada edition traditionally takes place in February each year, for the 2011 edition Northrop completed and is publishing the Canada edition simultaneous with the United States edition this year.
"This year I felt it was important to move up the publication of the Canada edition to coincide with the U.S. edition, and some new improvements in producing the almanac this year have helped to make that possible," Northrop explained.
Todd Northrop is the founder and developer of Lottery Post (www.lotterypost.com), which has grown over the years to become the world's largest community of lottery players, as well as one of the top Internet destinations for those seeking lottery results.
Lottery Post's Lottery Results Almanac series is an annual publication documenting the winning numbers for all official government lottery games played in the United States and Canada. Other countries and lotteries are planned for future editions.

Madness Day. Ohh, Madness Day, how I love thee.
But less about the event that has brought Newgrounds together in a harmonious explosion of creativity, more about me and my problems. I'm stuck at my mums house babysitting the dogs. Don't get me wrong, its really awesome to be with me puppies again, but with a busted freakin tablet and corel 9 (...a highly outdated graphic program, if youre unfamiliar) I had to make do with Bristol board. which, again, don't get me wrong, was really awesome to work with, but with a sub-par camera phone the only means of capturing the art it kinda makes me want to rip out all my fabulous hair.
I love working with traditional media but I need a good scanner or photo-taking method. It's frustrating to try and catch a deadline but get caught up trying to eliminate the glare from the markers and get all the details nice and sharp >:L

Published: December 18, 2008 List of Severn Barrage schemes to be cut down by government
The Government is expected to significantly reduce the number of power-harnessing schemes it is considering for the Severn Estuary at the start of 2009, it has been confirmed this week. A meeting of senior ministers was held this week to discuss which of the ten options, which include a £15 billion barrage between Brean Down and Wales, should be looked at in more detail. The two year feasibility study is approaching the half way mark and the government wants to remove any "no-go" proposals from the list of 10 (shown below). The meeting included Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, transport, business and Welsh Assembly ministers and South West Minister Ben Bradshaw and the options will be finalised over the next month with a decision due by the end of January. A scaled-down shortlist would allow experts to focus on the key options and quickly go out to public consultation on them.
It comes as a number of groups opposed to any scheme joined together to ramp up their opposition to a barrage. The RSPB, WWF-UK and Friends of the Earth Cymru, along with other leading opponents, called for the government to focus on other schemes. "The challenge is great, but is one that we support," they said in a letter. "The recommended projects need to help to tackle climate change and be at an acceptable cost to the taxpayer. We argue that they should also minimise harm to the internationally important wildlife, the special landscape and the heritage of the Severn." "There is an easy option: the ministers could shortlist the projects that have received most attention, such as the proposed Cardiff-Weston barrage. The trouble is, this is the most environmentally destructive proposal up for consideration." "There is a better approach: ministers could continue to explore the less environmentally destructive proposals, even if their designs need more time to be fully developed. These may prove to be cheaper and deliver more energy in the long run." "This would be a brave choice, and a visionary one. But it would also be the right choice, given the crucial significance of the Severn estuary for people, birds, fish and other wildlife." A Government spokeswoman said in a statement: "We always said that at the end of the first year we would look back at the work we have done. If there were something we thought was a no go we would discontinue it. It is unlikely any shortlist would have ten options." The 10 schemes on the current shortlist include the 10-mile Lavernock Point to Brean Down barrage plan, which could generate up to five per cent of the UK's electricity, and the shorter Shoots barrage further up the estuary.
